interesting.  I had actually tried that URL before sending the last 
message, and from where I tried it, it failed.  trying it again just 
now, from my home network, it works.  so the sample size is small but 
I'm still in doubt that this works reliably.

and even if there is "a hint of merit" to John's argument, John's claim 
that it would destroy the Internet, or even do it significant harm, 
seems utterly preposterous.
